Fireball XL5 is the name of an indie-pop show hosted by Frank Seglenieks that for 18 years was on CKMS 100.3 FM Radio Waterloo. However, as a result of a format change in mid-2008, Fireball XL5 is now heard only as a podcast.

Of course I stole the name of the show from the 60s British Supermarionation program, which featured puppets kind of like the movie Team America. I play alternative music that usually classified as indie-pop with the occasional feature on a particular artist or theme as well as discussions on pop culture topics of the day. I start off each show with the best song that I have heard since the last

show.

A show that very much stayed in the indie pop vein with lots of fine new music. The entire second set came from a recent compilation from Oddbox Records, I remember they did this last year and once again they have delivered with a bunch of great songs. The bonus is that you can download all of the song I played and many more for free from their website (see the link below).
